After the death of Dr. Emerson, Scott and his family should have been considered.…

Interstate commerce encompasses any work involving or related to the movement of persons or materials across state lines or from foreign countries. The parameters of the policy were tested in the Supreme Court case of Gibbons v. Ogden, decided by John Marshall in 1824.…

In order to understand the Dred Scott versus Sanford case one must know: the function of the Supreme Courts , who Dred Scott was, and the impact that the case left on future presidents choosing their Supreme Court Justices.
